Despite being clearly annoyed, Hughes told CNN she has a "great sense of humor" and that it's an "honor" to be portrayed by Strong. After her appearance on CNN, Hughes spoke with TheBlaze and was more candid.

"You've never known 'SNL' to parody any conservative in a positive way — either male or female," Hughes said. "I don't get paid to be positive about Mr. Trump. I've never been paid by him."

The political activist said she is "a little shaken after this" and that she "had no idea this was coming."

"Those who know me know that I'm actually a very insecure person. I read every tweet," Hughes said. "Tears have been shed."
